COHERENCE OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF ATHEROSCLEROSIS AND ETHNIC FOOD TRADITIONS OF THE WORLD REVIEW

Abstract

The article presents a review of modern literature on the issue of coherence in the development of atherosclerosis and ethnic food traditions of different parts of the world. Analytical information is provided on current trends in the transformation of culinary preferences. It is shown that in the conditions of today's globalization and unification, among the older generation, food remains a track of a stable marker of ethnic identity. On the other hand, subsequent generations are significantly inclined towards unification, which manifests itself in the consumption of store-bought products, dishes based on recipes from the Internet, not to mention fast food, which has a single standard throughout the world. It seemed interesting to conduct an analysis based on literature data from open sources of the last 5 years of the coherence of the development of atherosclerosis and ethnic food traditions. Deviations in eating habits are indicated, accompanied by appetite disturbances and obesity, which is important in the development of atherosclerosis. A clear dependence of life expectancy on dietary style has also been demonstrated. The Mediterranean diet and traditional nutrition in Japan had a beneficial effect on this indicator. Explanation of the possible mechanisms of this phenomenon is the essence of this work.
